A globe-trotting bad boy chases the one that got away in this addictive novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Contract. My name is Adam Kincaid, and Iâm the best at what I do. After losing my parents, I decided to follow in their footsteps, and now Iâm the most daring freelance photographer in the world. Maybe some think Iâm a loner, but I donât care. All that matters is the shot: braving danger and devastation in search of a single image with the power to tell someoneâs story. But as good as I am, accidents happenâand thank god for that, because itâs what leads me to her. . . Alexandra Robbins. My nurse. My savior. With her fiery red hair and crystal-clear blue eyes, the camera loves her . . . and I have to have her. We soon find that weâre perfect together. We just fit, physically and emotionally. And yet something isnât right. Something from her past is haunting her, and no matter what I do to help her break free, I lose her. Today is the day I try to win her back. Not only do I need an explanation, I need her in my bed once again. I donât just want a damn pictureâI want her. Because what we have is a love that never fades away. . .

âThere are so many things I want to do with you,â I assured her, and licked my lips as I stared at her, my voice husky. âTo you.â âTell me,â she insisted, her fingers curled into fists at her sides. I stepped behind her, wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her to my chest. I smoothed my fingers up her arm, trailing them along her skin. Small goose bumps broke out, pebbling the surface as I dropped my head down into her neck, kissing and swirling my tongue. âIâm going to explore youâeverywhere. Iâll touch and discover every part of you. I want to know what makes you gasp, what drives you to distraction. Iâll find out what I can do to make you groan and beg me to take you. Iâll know your body better than you do.â I drew her skin between my teeth, biting and sucking. âI want to kiss you . . . taste you everywhere.â I slipped my hands under her shirt, teasing the softness of her stomach and side, stroking upward until my hand cupped her breast lightly. âI bet you taste different all over. Sweet some placesââI dropped my hand down, running it along the edge of her waistbandââmusky and tangy others.â

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys travelling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie delights in a good romance story with some bumps along the way, but is a true believer in happily ever after. When her head isnât buried in a book, it is bent over a keyboard, furiously typing away as her characters dictate their creative storylines to her, often with a large glass of wine keeping her company.
